Jesmond dad 'plagued' by anti-social behaviour

A Newcastle dad has told the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Martin Lindsay he's "on alert all the time" after "a lump of concrete the size of a baseball" was thrown through his daughter's bedroom window.

It comes as a ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ investigation found councils in north-east England received 31,473 reports of anti-social behaviour in 2023, but issued penalties in fewer than 1% of cases.

Newcastle and Northumbria Universities said they "investigate all complaints received, and where appropriate, liaise with Northumbria Police and the City Council to visit students to remind them of their responsibilities".
